House in La Garriga | MIRAG Arquitectura i Gestió
Barcelona / Spain / 2022
7
The two-storey house is located in the town of La Garriga, near Barcelona, and it was built in 1884. The House occupies a narrow plot of 5x30 meters next to the old town.
The project had the challenge of rufurbishing the house while keeping it’s memory. The main decision was to keep the original structure and the central staircase in order to preserve the character of this kind of house tipology. Only new elements were added when it was necessary in terms of confort and functionality.
Inner divisions were removed to expand the interior spaces of the house, to gain bigger rooms and to bring more light to the core of the house. The new distribution is organized around the central staircase, which opens at some points to create visual relationtships between the different spaces, and provide them with more light.
The use of traditional materials like bricks, ceramic tiles, wood or natural stone creates a link between the old house and the new intervention.
ES - La casa de dos plantas está situada en el pueblo de La Garriga, cerca de Barcelona, y fue construida en 1884. La casa ocupa un estrecho solar de 5x30 metros junto al casco antiguo.
El proyecto tenía el reto de remodelar la casa manteniendo su memoria. La decisión principal fue mantener la estructura original y el núcleo de escaleras para preservar el carácter de esta tipología de casa. Sólo se añadieron nuevos elementos cuando fue necesario en términos de comodidad y funcionalidad.
Se eliminaron las particiones secundarias para dinamizar la planta, obtener espacios más generosos y aportar más luz en el interior de la vivienda. La distribución de la casa se organiza a partir del núcleo central de escaleras, que se abre en algunos puntos para crear relaciones visuales entre los diferentes espacios, y dotarlos de más luz.
El uso de materiales tradicionales como ladrillos, baldosas de cerámica, madera o piedra natural crea un vínculo entre la casa antigua y la nueva intervención.
